For the love of GOD do not use this. Use the Truegold transmute, because this is a cooldowned transmute (not like the titanium bars) and it shares a cooldown with truegold.

Cooldown time seems to be 7.5 hrs

Comment by abates

First time I used this the cd was 3hr, 2nd time it jumped to 24 hr

You can save up unused cooldowns to some extent. I know for certain that if you forget to transmute one day, you can do two the next.

Wouldn't waste it on this transmute, though. I hope Blizzard make it less of a worthless recipe at some point. Even if it didn't share cooldown with truegold, it's still exchanging very expensive mats to get a very cheap result.

Requires 1x elementium bar and 1x volatile earth on PTR (4.06)

Comment by Kalibos7

What a ridiculous thing to have a cooldown on. No alchemist in their right mind will EVER use their CD on this when there's a much more profitable and important truegold they could have instead. Nice one Blizz - how's the weather with your heads firmly lodged up your ass?

Raleka is right. And on Darkspear this is a money maker, but you lose money on the gem xmutes.

Comment by isopsycho86

Once I hit 525 I very quickly realized that the truegold x-mute that everyone was raving about was only profitable if you got the mats dirt cheap or got a proc from transmute spec. If someone is looking to make money, these mats are so obscenely cheap you get a huge profit margin on these. Granted you aren't playing the "I win 2k gold lottery" that the truegold x-mute can be, but you are almost tripling your money (on my server) plus whatever you get from mastery. If you are just making and selling, this is the way to go.

Wowhead is most certainly WRONG I wasted a 200g profit on this this xmute is linked with your trugold CD do not waste your CDcd resets at midnight server time <--STUPID THX BLIZZARD

Comment by terryjones

hey might be a dumb question but with transmute mastery since this already makes 3 bars can it proc up to 15 or is it still just the 5?

Comment by Ruta

You'd in theory, make up to 7 bars, as a transmute proc can make anything between 1 and 4 additional items from your transmute. So while you are always guaranteed 3, a full Transmute Proc would provide an additional bonus of 4, making a maximum of 7.

Not having tested this myself, I still have to disapprove with above poster, as back in WotLK you would get 10 Flasks out of a 5-proc due to the fact that you got 2 flasks per cast back then.

Comment by jumbodog

As the poster down below notes this recipe is about the only effective way to level from 520-525. At 520 all the flasks and potions are green, only the transmutes are orange or yellow. Currently, the mats to make a single flask is still well over 100g. @ green you odds of getting a proc are 20%. So that means you will need to make 20 flasks or spend 2000g, on average, to go from 520-525.

On the other hand, the mats of this transmute are 20g on my server and it's a guaranteed proc so that means 100g.

So the choice is to take five days and spend 100g or do it now and spend 2000g.

hhmmmmm.....

If you have access to a 525 miner, you may wish to smelt Pyrite Ore instead: Smelt Pyrite. Smelting makes one bar per two ore, but has no cooldown.

Comment by hellomynameis

This is still on a reset-at-midnight-cooldown, and is shared with Living Steel, so do not fall for the temptation of using this to level Alchemy. If you do, you effectivly lose one Living Steel transmute..like I did.
